I have heard rumours of a new reservoir near us, between Havant and Rowlands Castle! Timescale isn't too short tho'....

Why do they need another reservoir, why not just keep doing what they have done for the last few years and just take water from the medway??  Its ok mr southern water, i really dont mind.

Not quite - I've heard from a friend at OSC that it's TEN times the size of the current reservoir and Prescott has already given some kind of approval. It will be probably be the biggest in the land. The orignal plans apparently had a canoe course down one side.
